Get Your Idaho Business Discovered

LIST YOUR BUSINESS ON idaGROW

idaGROW isn't just about shopping local — it's about discovering local.

We're building a statewide community where Idahoans can discover independent businesses, makers, and nonprofits — and get to know the people behind them.

Because behind every local business is a person, family, team, story, idea, or reason it exists.

Those are the stories idaGROW wants to help people discover.

Whether you run a restaurant, creative studio, construction company, veterinary clinic, farm, retail shop, professional service, nonprofit, or something entirely different, idaGROW gives you another way to be seen without giving you another platform to manage.

Your idaGROW profile introduces people to what you do, who you are, and the story behind it — then connects them directly to wherever you already do business.

MORE THAN A BUSINESS LISTING

An idaGROW profile isn't meant to be another name and phone number in a giant directory.

It's a place for people to discover who's behind the business.

Your profile can include:

• Business or organization name, logo, and imagery
• Idaho city and region
• Business type and category
• What you do
• Your story and the people behind it
• Website, online shop, Etsy store, booking page, donation page, or another destination
• Social media and contact information

Visitors can discover you by type, category, and region, learn more about you, and then connect directly with your business or organization.

Because supporting local means more when you know who local is.

WE WANT TO HELP TELL YOUR STORY

You don't need to write the perfect business bio or come up with another marketing pitch.

When you apply, we'll ask about you — how you got started, why you do what you do, and what you'd like people to know about the people behind your business, craft, or organization.

We'll use what you share to help create a profile that feels like you, not another generic directory entry.

Listings may also be featured through idaGROW's website and social media, helping introduce Idaho businesses, makers, nonprofits — and their stories — to new audiences.

As idaGROW grows, we'll continue developing new ways to help people discover the community, including newsletters highlighting new profiles, stories, and what's happening around Idaho.

NO SECOND STOREFRONT. NO EXTRA JOB.

Running a business or organization is already enough work.

There are no products to upload to idaGROW, no orders to manage, no shipping system to learn, and no additional storefront or dashboard demanding your attention.

Your idaGROW profile connects visitors directly to wherever you already do business.

You keep doing what you do. We help Idaho discover it.

SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PRICING

Your first 90 days are free.

We want businesses and makers to have a chance to experience idaGROW before deciding whether it's worth paying for.

There's no credit card required to start and no contract.

After your first 90 days, a standard idaGROW listing is:

$50 PER YEAR

If you see value in being part of idaGROW, we'd love to keep you.

If you don't, that's okay too. Let us know and we'll remove your listing.

Your standard listing includes your complete idaGROW profile and continued placement throughout the appropriate type, category, and regional discovery pages, along with opportunities for organic sharing and features through idaGROW.

As idaGROW grows, additional optional featured and promotional opportunities may become available for businesses that want even more exposure.

NONPROFITS ARE ALWAYS FREE

Eligible Idaho nonprofit organizations and community organizations can be listed on idaGROW at no cost.

Nonprofits already invest their time, resources, and energy into serving Idaho communities. idaGROW wants to help more people discover the organizations doing that work without adding another expense for them to carry.

Nonprofits receive the same story-driven profile and opportunities for organic discovery and sharing throughout idaGROW.

No trial period. No annual listing fee.

WHO CAN BE LISTED?

idaGROW is built for independent businesses, makers, and nonprofits with meaningful roots or operations in Idaho.

Your business does not have to operate exclusively within Idaho. A business that began here, is headquartered here, or maintains meaningful Idaho operations may still qualify even if it has expanded outside the state.

idaGROW is not intended for national chains, franchise locations, multi-level marketing businesses, or businesses without a meaningful connection to Idaho.

idaGROW is also a politically neutral platform. Political parties, campaigns, candidates, PACs, and organizations primarily focused on political campaigning or advocacy are not eligible for listings.

MAKERS ARE BUSINESSES, TOO

If you make something in Idaho, you belong here too.

Artists, jewelers, woodworkers, potters, leatherworkers, candle makers, food producers, and other independent creators can be listed as Idaho Makers and discovered through the dedicated Makers section of idaGROW.

But we want people to discover more than what you make.

We want them to discover the person who made it.

You don't need to move your products or recreate your existing shop. Your profile introduces people to you and your work, then sends them directly to wherever you already sell.

HOW IT WORKS

1. TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

Complete the idaGROW Listing Application.

We'll ask about your business or organization and its Idaho roots, but we'll also ask about your story and the people behind it.

2. WE REVIEW IT

Applications are personally reviewed to make sure listings meet idaGROW's eligibility requirements and are a good fit for the community.

3. WE BUILD YOUR PROFILE

Once approved, we'll use the information, story, and imagery you provide to build your idaGROW profile.

You don't have another account, storefront, or dashboard to manage.

For businesses and makers, your 90-day free period begins when your profile goes live.

Eligible nonprofit listings are free from the start.

4. GET DISCOVERED

Your profile becomes part of idaGROW and can be discovered by type, category, and region.

Visitors can discover what you do, learn who's behind it, and connect directly with your business or organization.

Your story may also be shared through idaGROW's social media, website features, and other discovery content as the community grows.

5. YOU DECIDE

For businesses and makers, at the end of your free 90 days, you decide whether idaGROW is worth continuing.

If you'd like to stay, your standard listing is $50 for the next year.

If not, there's no contract to cancel and no surprise charge.

Eligible nonprofit listings remain free.

BUILT IN IDAHO. BUILT FOR IDAHO.

idaGROW was created by an Idaho small-business owner and maker with a simple belief:

The businesses and organizations that make Idaho special wouldn't exist without the people behind them.

After more than a decade running my own business, I've seen firsthand how much those personal connections matter.

That's what I want at the heart of idaGROW as it grows.

Not an anonymous database of Idaho businesses.

Not another storefront to manage.

A place to discover what Idahoans are building, creating, and doing for their communities — and meet the people behind it.
